Daughter of Herod (not Philip) and (Mark 6: 22, NRSV, marg.) of Herodias whose second marriage was to Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee (Mark 6: 17), who is therefore both uncle and stepfather to Salome. Her dancing pleased Herod, who promised he would give her anything
she requested; prompted by her mother she asked for the head of John the Baptist (Mark 6: 24). Salome's name is not mentioned in the NT; she married Herod Philip, tetrarch of Trachinitis.
